Well, well....here I am once again!
That life thing keeps creeping up on my and not allowing me to spend the time here that I dream of.
I've had many a blog posts that I've envisoned writing lately but the time has not been had.....
there is always time for them though I suppose.
Life lately can be described using many words, there have been lots of good and fun things and as per usual some not so fun things lately...but I'm sayin' IT'S ALL GOOD to that stuff too, or at least I'm trying to.

If you and I are instagram buddies you would have seen these photos and known that lately there have been road trips, weekend trips, first days of school and new houses happening in my world lately!
As I look at each of those photos above, my heart is so full. They all hold tremendous weight..yes even the photo of the starbucks...why? because it reminds me of friends who are in my corner and the blessing of having a safe, reliable and awesome race car :) I super love that car you guys!!!
Looking above I see a friendship with an incredible depth of history and memories. I see that although this friendship has been tested a time or two, at the end of the day there's really nothing that can or will ultimately break it apart. I see and know that with her I can be exactly who I am, and who I am not and so can she...and we love eachother all the way. I see fun, silliness, and a place with her where I can let myself chill out...because she gets it....hence the weekend trip to be with her a few weeks ago.
That key, the one that Jayden and I are holding (which was lost about 5 minutes later, story on that another time!) That's the key to our new apartment/house place that we are beginning to settle in this week! This is HUGE, and I talked about why in this post. But it truly feels soo good to know that Jay and I have a home...like a real place all our own! A place where we can finish healing our hearts and ramp up for the next phase of life we've got ahead!
That last photo of Jay and I...that was us on his first day of school. First days of school are big for everyone but this one was really big for both of us because up until this year we've been home schooling together. This meant that day in and day out we did school and life together everyday. My heart was so full the night before he began school. I was excited, nervous and already so proud of him. As I watched him get ready for school that morning, I was so thankful once again just to be there with him...to experience first hand watching him do the simple yet amazing things in life.
I was reminded that the essence of me, and what makes me completely happy is to experience daily life so close with those that I love. I love the reality of life, the day in and day out, doing that with those I love fills me to the brim. It's not boring to me its incredible.
The awesome, and the not so awesome...all the moments, all the emotions...
The big moments and the tiny mundane moments...
real life, doing it together. That's real, that's awesome, that's where it's at.
